Opioid withdrawal symptoms may include nausea, muscle aches, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, agitation, and a coffee mood. Addiction and dependence are components of a substance use disorder. Complications may include opioid overdose, suicide, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and problems at college, work, or home. Opioids include substances like heroin, morphine, fentanyl, codeine, dihydrocodeine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone. Within the us, a majority of heroin users begin by using prescription opioids, which will even be bought illegally. Risk factors for misuse include a history of substance use, substance use among family and friends, mental disease , low socioeconomic status, and race.
